Ok there is no defrost button. Before it was constantly freezing up. Ice forming at back. My husband turned thermostat to zero to defrost it, therr I'd no button as such as just a fridge. Do meant to self regulate?

move the temperature dial to 3 or 4 mark and there must be a push and pull button for defrost if you cannot find then jog the dial to 2-3 and leave the fridge for 3 to 4 hrs it will automatically start when you power it on after 4 hrs

ill need to put the thermostat box back (we were checking electrics before we contacted you)on which will take 10 mins or so and see if this works. Should the power be on when we try the above - as you say 'will automatically start when you power it on after 4 hrs'?

ive put the thermostat box back on and there is no push and pull at all an I jiggled it but there is no give, so I am really not sure there is a defrost setting to be honest - are you sure?

Defrost box? o you mean thermostat box? what you suggesting wont work I am sure, as we have change dial setting and put fridge on and off several times over the last week and it has made no difference. I think you think something got stuck arund the dial forcing it to say on defrost, is that what you are thinking? I am pretty sure that is not it...in the absence of a defrost setting or button as such, is there a way of telling from looking at the thermostat wiring if this is the case?
